15. Event Branding
Event Branding document
To support the Event Organiser in achieving consistent branding on events, the IFSC designed the Event
Branding (https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/2-uncategorised/61-event-organisers-resources) document. This document
contains the Graphic Charter and Field Of Play design (FOP). It shall be strictly followed by the Event Organiser. The IFSC will design
the Graphic Charter of each event on behalf of each Event Organiser. Process will be as follows:
• The IFSC will send the EO a spreadsheet to be filled out with all the necessary information
• The EO will fill out the matrix and send it back to the IFSC with all the EO sponsors logos in .ai format
• The IFSC will design the poster and send it to the EO and the IFSC sponsors for validation
• Once the poster is validated and ready for printing, the IFSC will design all the other elements of the graphic charter
and send them to the EO and the IFSC sponsors for validation
• Once the elements are validated by the EO and the IFSC, the EO can proceed with the production
Design and printing of the branded materials are according to the Global Timeline. It is responsibility of the Event Organiser to
ensure the printing of all the elements described into the Event Branding document, and to borne the costs associated to it.
Additional Branding
Additional materials can be designed either by the IFSC or the Event Organiser and printed/displayed by the Event Organiser. These
additional materials will be in line with the Event Branding, giving equal visibility to IFSC and Event Organiser partners. If not
designed by the IFSC, these additional materials will be obligatorily sent to the IFSC for validation prior to the Event. No other
documents than the ones validated by the IFSC can be used on the Event.
It is the responsibility of the Event Organiser to make sure that branded materials are produced on time and displayed properly.
The design of the branded materials will be sent and validated by the IFSC prior to the Event, according to the Global Timeline.

the national language only. The IFSC retains all copyrights.
TV Rights Policy
The IFSC has released a TV Rights Policy (https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/2-uncategorised/61-event-organisers-

resources) in order to clarify the Broadcasters rights in terms of filming and use of IFSC footage.
IFSC Production team
The IFSC nominates a service provider for the filming and Broadcasting and/or Web Broadcasting of the event. The IFSC Video

appropriate web platform. The Event Organiser will seek agreement of the IFSC one month before the event at the latest. The IFSC
will then advise protocol. Streaming IFSC events or part of them on digital platforms other than the official IFSC Youtube channel
is not allowed.

17. Sustainability
IFSC has produced Sustainability Guidelines aiming to provide simple, practical and essential information on key aspects of
sustainability for member federations and Event Organisers to be better able to navigate the complexities of this subject and
develop effective sustainability programmes.
We hope these guidelines will provide a valuable overview and reference point for this important topic. We also know that
sustainability is a constantly evolving discipline, with new issues, challenges and opportunities always needing to be addressed.
We therefore welcome feedback, comments and suggestions so that we can continually improve our guidance and ensure our
material is as fresh, relevant and accurate as possible.
The IOC’s official definition of sustainability is that, when making decisions, we ensure feasibility, and we seek to maximise positive
impact and minimise negative impact in the social, economic and environmental spheres. Each of us can participate in making the
world a better place through sport.
At the end of season of Events, the IFSC shall reward organisers who have incorporated sustainable considerations throughout all
levels of their event strategy.
